There are many calculators that try to show how long we might live, but to me it's much more relevant to try to guess how many active years I'll have.
I found this one that attempts to do that:
Healthy Life Expectancy Calculator
It seems kind of optimistic, since it predicts quite a few more healthy/active (your own definition) years than I would have guessed, but at least it's something to strive for.

While The Healthy Life Expectancy Calculator isn’t the first of its kind, it is backed up by science. Research supports many factors of this model, such as how exercise, income, education, and diseases like diabetes can impact life expectancy.

The Healthy Life Expectancy Calculator lists ways you can extend your “healthy years” and tells you exactly how many years it can be prolonged by. ... Many of these lifestyle changes are backed up by science and accessible for most people.

The Goldenson Center’s calculator is admittedly still a work in progress. It’s still too early to say to what extent their findings are accurate and as they refine their calculator, there could be potential to add categories.
